How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Yokohama Advan dB V552 is widely praised for its exceptional ride comfort, remarkably low noise levels, and reliable wet weather performance. However, some drivers note a compromise in high-speed stability and dry cornering grip due to softer sidewalls.
Pros
- Exceptionally quiet and silent operation at various speeds
- High level of ride comfort, effectively absorbing bumps and potholes
- Good grip and sure-footed performance in wet conditions
- Decent treadwear and longevity reported by multiple users
Cons
- Softer sidewalls can cause a floating sensation or lack of sharpness at higher speeds
- Reduced dry cornering grip when pushed hard, with some tendency to wash out
- Mixed feedback on overall durability, with a few users experiencing faster-than-expected wear
Worth knowing
- Fitted as original equipment on the Mazda3 BP, where the soft sidewalls complement the chassis tuning to damp out bumps, though dynamic response suffers when pushed.
- Noted to transform the ride quality on vehicles like the BMW Z4 by providing an exceptionally quiet and compliant ride.
